Congratulations. That’s so exciting. Depending on where you go a vaginal ultrasound to see how far along you are. Then they will ask you your family health record they will tell you your official due date and congratulations 🎊 maybe give you some brochures. You’ll pee in a cup get a blood draw. At least that’s how it’s been for me each time 😂

Probably too late, but HEADS UP, you may have to have a pap! I did and was mortified because DH (dear husband) was in the room. I insisted he leave and he’s all like “I’ll play it cool” and made me feel super awkward. Anyways, otherwise she used the Doppler, sent me for a sono, then I had to do bloodwork and a urine sample. It took almost 2 hours. I was exhausted.

Not trying to be rude, but why would you be mortified? Is this your first child? Your hubby is going to be getting more of an eyeful diring birth than he would during a pap

Not my first child, and I had a c section so he was spared the gore for the most part. It’s weird having someone who’s not your husband all in your business while your husband watches. And my husband is SO (significant other) weird about that stuff and asks stupid questions! 😂

Gotcha. Yeah, I guess it's a medical professional doing their job that it doesn't phase me.
